Ethylene can be converted ethylene glycol, which on being treated with alkaline KMnO₄ forms succinic acid. Ethylene can be converted into ethylene glycol as follows

$C H_{2} = C H_{2} + H O C l \to C H_{2} O H - C H_{2} C l \overset{N a H C O_{3}}{\to} H O C H_{2} - C H_{2} O H + N a C l + C O_{2}$

Ethylene glycol can be converted into succinic acid as follows

$H O C H_{2} - C H_{2} O H \overset{a l k a l i n e K M n O_{4}}{\to} H O O C - C H_{2} - C H_{2} - C O O H$
